Hockey Archives ( www.hockeyarchives.info/archives.htm ) definitely belongs atop the list. Just an insanely comprehensive and informative website. Top notch when it comes to historical European hockey with plenty of coverage on current day activities as well.

I would also include Wikipedia's Hockey Project ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe...ect_Ice_Hockey ) which contains over 30,000 articles on hockey topics. Good reference for player biographies especially. The Ice Hockey Wiki ( http://icehockey.wikia.com/ ) deserves a mention too. The layout is disgusting, and many of the pages are out of date, but it is a treasure trove for obscure Canadian senior/junior stats, results, and pictures.

And of course your excellent website belongs on the list, Jukka. I did not include my International Hockey Wiki as I would probably be biased on where to rank it.

PS: Not sure where the SIHR website ( http://www.sihrhockey.org ) should be included as there is a $30 annual fee to gain access, but it is excellent for rare player stats and the Hockey Origins Database. A bit of a disappointment to me though, as I've always felt the site had the potential to be far more comprehensive in its coverage of league and tournament results than it is.

"By Soviet standards I'd always been considered an offensive centerman. Phil Esposito and Bobby Clarke forced me to play a more defensive style. The experience made me a better all around player," -Vladimir Petrov commenting after the 1972 Summit Series
